Gaise Baba Overwhelmed with Joy After Receiving New Car

On September 17, 2026, Nigerian gospel and Afro-fusion artist Gaise Baba, whose real name is Akinade Ibuoye, was surprised with a brand-new black Mercedes-Benz featuring a personalised "GAISE" number plate. The emotional moment was captured in a video posted on his Instagram page, where he was seen breaking down in tears of joy upon receiving the car keys.

Dressed casually in a white T-shirt and shorts, he stepped outside to find the luxury sedan parked in his driveway. His reaction included disbelief as he inspected the car and admired the customised number plate.

His wife, Funto Ibuoye, and a young child were present, celebrating the surprise together. Gaise Baba attributed this gift to his faith and his Urgent2Hours prayer sessions.

He is known for incorporating gospel messages into his music, singing in Yoruba, English, and Pidgin. His 2022 album is among his most celebrated works, and he is recognized as a culture architect and youth advocate.
